About Studio 1na1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Studio 1na1<\/em> is a two-month mentorship, research and production programme for students, emerging artists, designers and practitioners at the beginning of their professional careers. The 2026 residency takes place at GMK\u2019s 8-ica space and centres on the development of an original publication for the gallery\u2019s 40th anniversary.<\/p>\n

Working with the mentor and the gallery team, the selected participant develops the publication\u2019s concept, visual language and structure, prepares it for print and takes part in its public presentation. Rather than a conventional documentary book, the publication is conceived as an independent printed artefact in which text, images, typography and layout shape the content together.<\/p>\n
